Welcome to the South Pasadena High School

Class Of 1971 website!

June 4, 2018

Hi Everyone:

At the end of our 45th reunion there was $1,500 available for a SPHS student scholarship from a combination of donations and unexpeced revenue because a larger group of you attended than expected!

Our reunion committee agreed to honor a dedicated, hard working student with financial need, who was first generation headed to college and who was not the usual superstar. We didn't find an appropriate student last year, but this year (2018) we did. This awardee is Cayley Whitman.

Classmate Cathie (Carden) McDonald, who works at the school, did the honors at the May 31 scholarship assembly and said:

"She sprang out of her seat like a rocket when her name was announced; she was so genuinely surprised and thrilled! Cayley took full advantage of study resources all four years, was a dedicated, diligent, solid B who took all general ed classes, including an AP course, this year. She ran track throughout high school, was the pep squad manager, and worked ten hours a week in the front office. She spreads good cheer throughout the campus everyday. She is Pasadena City College-bound with plans to transfer to a university, major still undecided, but leaning toward business or aviation."

Cayley wrote to us:

Dear the Class of 1971,

I am deeply humbled and grateful for the incredible recognition you have bestowed on me with this scholarship. Thank you.

-Cayley Whitman

Many thanks to all of you who helped make it possible to help this promisitng student. We look forward to seeing you at our 50th reunion in 2021.
